These people, had for long continued flipping over the pages of Islamic history from cover to cover, so as to detect any short coming of Islam or less to find mischievous people from among the Muslims who could be supported technically, materially and financially to enable them actualize their insidious goals. Both these orientalists and those evil people parading as Muslims belong to the same class, and their sole intention is to destroy Islam. These combined together to confuse the minds of the masses who can neither read nor write or even understand. At the same time they went about vilifying the mission that emerged in the Arabian Peninsula from the Kharajites of North Africa. And the scholars of North Africa fought against this sect even before the advent of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. However, for these lies to hold ground they fabricated falsehood against Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and his followers.
Moreover, Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, in most of his treatises, refuted and replied these falsehood and rumours spread against him. The great scholars from Morocco who performed pilgrimage in the year 1226 AH were aware of the distortion of facts, to the detriment of this mission through the dialogue held between Al-Maula Abu Ishaq Bin Sultan, Al-Maula Suleiman and Imam Sa'ud Bin Abdul-Aziz after demise of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab for long. History books of Magrib include this event, which...

categorically expose the bias andood falsehood fabricated against Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. To this extent, all the scholars agreed that his mission is a true teaching of Porphet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam) and his pious followers.
Imam Ibrahim, Bin Sultan Suleiman, who led the delegation, 'see eye to eye' with the mission at the end of the dialogue. But, those power hungry scholars in religious garb, and those who follow their desires continue to further exaggerate the fabricated falsehood and rumours spread against the mission.
As such, if a person with an objective sense of reasoning take a look at the Wahhabiyya of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, will reason with the fact that his name is Muhammad and to link him with that would have been named Muhammadiya (not Wahhabiya). But had it been called Muhammadiya the movement will reflect upon the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam), thereby, rendering the action of the perpetrators of these evil ineffective, whose goal is never actualized. Also, the father of Muhammad neither formed a movement nor did he sent on for a mission, therefore to attribute any movement to him is unjustifiable. In short, the main objectives of this mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, who based his teachings on the pious predecessors' teachings imply a great intellectual acrobatism and historical distortion.

Furthermore, the masses find it difficult to distinguish between the two names that is, Abdul-Wahhab Bin Abdur Rehman and MUhammad BIn ABdul-Wahhab. Owing to this, they (mischievous people) ensured that the old Wahhabiya and its evils are attributed to Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, so as to tarnish the image as well as to crumble down the mission. This come to lime light as inferred from the reports and documents of Ibrahim Pasha dispatched to Muhammad Ali in Egyot; and some writings of the Ottoman officers some nicknames such as:- Al-Wahhabiyya, the Kharijites, the heretics against the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab at that period .
This class of people, worked hand in hand to mislead the masses regarding anything to do with the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. It might be method of preaching (adopeted by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab) seems new to the public and to verify him is easy, thereby, causing the gullible minds to accept anthing against it. This is clear, the similitude of which is seen in the Qur'an and the Biography of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) with the enemies of Islam, at the initial stage, when he (salallaahu alaihi wasallaam) preached Islam. This is one hand and in another, a similar observation can be made in the contemporary period, as any group of youths group that hold the real to as fanatics or extremists, and a number of nicknames are adopted to refer to them, deliberately aimed at..

crippling the religious zeal in their minds; at the same time to create a line of distinction between them and those who do not understand.
In every place and period of time, the masses who form the majority always demand an explanation from the government on anything to do with new happenings. As soon as the mission came to lime light, the scholars at that time, majority of whom were after wordly materials, found it easy to hide the truth bu instigating the masses to shun away or even fight against the mission since their mind is already confused. That is why we see this good mission is therefore, rendered a division or tagged as a hectic sect.
Of course, this misconception ring bells in the minds of the authority of the Ottoman government. Since, the mother of one of the Ottoman leaders had once been upset when Abdullaah Bin Sa'ud defeated Ottoman army in a place called Wadi Safara, between Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah and Yanbo.
While in other Muslim countries, they were able to associate the mission with whatever bad they deem it fit at tthe forefront in attacking the truth. These sycophants have no direction, other than accumulation of material wealth. At the same time they want assume leadership over the ignorant who do not have a through understanding of their religion, as well as, the hidden motives of these pretenders.

Thus, the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallaam) warned against ill-effect of scholars, and the wrongdoers, who deviate and cause others to deviate.
These classes of people who waged war against the mission have touched the most significant aspect of people's life i.e. religion; most specially those who do not know and could not trace the original source, hence, they gullibly accept whatever comes into their way.
The said class of people joined hands together, in order to cause confusion to the detriment of the new mission, whose sole aim is to unite the Muslims under one umbrella, rejecting all forms of superstition, enlightening the minds of the public, directing people to learn. As education is the foundation of the mission. Thus, knowledge is set to be the first and foremost in the activities of the mission at Dar'iya, according to Ibn Ghannam and Ibn Bishr in their history of this mission, as the adherents of the mission are highly desirous in learning. The Sheikhs disciples divided their time between learning and earning their livelihood as shown below:
After Fajr prayer to noon is for learning.
From noon to Zuhr is for work and farming.
From Zuhr to Asr-break.
Asr to Maghrib work.
Maghrib to Isha'-educational circles, research and debate.
